Please read this page before beginning the program.

Inside this member portal is everything you need to learn to execute our Gut and Immune Healing Protocols. Each of the program modules can be accessed by choosing the Module tab at the top of the page or by selecting a module on the Home page (where you began).

Once you open a module, you will see a list of all the lessons in that module. You can use the blue bar on each page to move forward to the next lesson or module in the program. Your training begins with the Getting Started Module and together we’ll finesse each and every module specific to your clients’ and patients’ needs as meeting them where they are is half the battle to improving their health for the long-term. 

Clicking on words that are highlighted in teal throughout the program will open additional pages or links.

Lessons contain videos and webinars to watch, along with Action Steps and handouts to download and print. If you need to access any of the handouts in the program without going to the specific lesson where they are located, you can use the Resources tab at the top of the page in the menu bar.

We highly recommend you go through Gut Thrive yourself, if you haven’t already, as it is so much easier to administer something that you yourself have experienced and will make you much more relatable and confident.

After you take your Assessment in the Getting Started Module and find out which Plan you are in, purchase your Supplement Kit (and individual supplements) by using our public-facing store here. Once you complete your certification, you can access Gut Thrive supplements for your clients and patients in one of two ways: (1) for health coaches and international practitioners, you will be given access to our Affiliate Supplement Program that will provide you with a commission for client supplement purchases from our public store or (2) for all other practitioners, you will be given access to our practitioner store, where you can order supplements for your clients and patients from us four times per year at a 20% discount and mark them up 25% which is the full retail cost.

We will be building an extensive knowledge base for this program as it evolves and we answer your unique questions related to your clients and patients. 

If you are unable to find an answer you need in the Troubleshooting Module and documents, and it does not get answered on the webinars, please feel free to reach out to our Clinical Customer Care team using the Support button located in the bottom right hand corner of every portal page.

Clinical Customer Care Guidelines

We put a great deal of time and effort into our programs to ensure you have the guidance you need to successfully execute the work. 

It is beneficial to watch the module videos and thoroughly review all the handouts once or even twice to take in and apply this new information.

Our team of highly-trained integrative and holistic nutritionists is available to provide email support to help your clients and patients execute the program better, and we hope to do that in our LIVE webinars and Case Studies but are also available to you via email under the following guidelines:

  1. If you have a question, please submit a ticket via email to info@thewholejourney.com.
  2. Our clinical support team is available Monday-Friday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm PST and will respond to your email within 48 business hours.
  3. In order to support everyone efficiently, we ask that you limit your tickets to two weekly with no more than 2 questions per ticket.
  4. If you submit more than 4 questions or 2 tickets within a 48-hour time period, we will need to put your email at the end of the queue so we can ensure we are able to respond to everyone within our guaranteed response time. 
  5. Before submitting a ticket, please be sure to check the troubleshooting modules and the transcripts of the live webinars to make sure it’s not a duplicate question.

We thank you for your understanding and are so looking forward to helping you help others create abundant health on all levels!
